Check out this blast by Bobby Butler, and then the WCHA officials (buffoonery in action) spent an inordinate amount of time reviewing an obvious goal. The refs seem to be the only ones in the arena that didn’t know it was in. Bobby Bulter also just signed with the Senators and will be a teammate of former Fighting Sioux defenseman Brian Lee.
Butler, 6-0 and 185 pounds, had 53 points in 39 games, including a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 1-high 29 goals, this season.
A native of Marlborough, Mass., he was named Hockey East Player of the Year, and is a Top 10 finalist for the Hobey Baker Award as NCAA player of the year.
Lewis Mongelluzzo, the team’s NCAA recruiting co-ordinator, had been watching Butler. In turn, he was watched by the rest of the team’s braintrust.
"When I saw him play in the NCAA playoffs, he was a very good college player,” said Murray. “He’ll need some time, but he’s very definitely a guy that has the potential to be a goal scorer in the NHL.
Perfect example of why the WCHA refs need to change! Such a lack of confidence! They must have wanted to make the correct call, instead they took so long they looked like bafoons! Nice representation!
